A True Story of Invention, Automotive Daring, and the Race to Revive America by Jason Fagone
The challenge was to build a safe, mass-producible vehicle that can carry two people 100 miles using no more than the energy in a gallon of gas. In 2007, the X Prize Foundation offered $10 million to be shared by teams that could pull it off, and in 2010, three groups claimed the prize.
Fagone, a journalist, chronicles the three-year scrum of engineering inspired by this bold challenge. Many teams sought to boost gas mileage by reducing aerodynamic drag, but one also enhanced performance by making the car incredibly light (less than 360 kilograms, or 800 pounds). Some vehicles were electric, others gas/electric hybrids, and one was a Frankensteinish hodgepodge with an electric motor, a motorcycle engine and a Ford chassis.
Of hundreds of would-be car moguls, Fagone followed four teams closely, including a well-funded start-up from Southern California, high schoolers from West Philadelphia and an Illinois team that built its vehicle in a barn.
Ingenious recounts the heartbreaks and triumphs that unfold as the competition takes a dramatic toll on bank accounts and on professional and personal relationships. The book provides keen insights into the process of innovation. More than that, though, it is a fascinating behind-the-scenes tale of engineering obsession.

SAD Soother™
Homeopathic remedy to relieve symptoms of weather-related sadness
- Relieves weather-related sadness
- Promotes an easygoing, positive emotional outlook
- Encourages increased energy levels
- Price: $16.95
- Price: $33.90
- Save $16.95 (33%)
No more doom and gloom when I wake up and look outside, I just grab SAD Soother, and a few drops later, I feel ready to face the day...- Klinton
What is SAD Soother?
SAD Soother is a safe, non-addictive, FDA-registered natural remedy containing 100% homeopathic ingredients selected to soothe feelings of sadness associated with winter weather.
SAD Soother safely promotes an easygoing, positive emotional outlook, without harmful side effects. This remedy contains a selection of homeopathic ingredients known to improve energy levels and temperament during the winter season.
SAD Soother is taken internally and presented in a convenient, concentrated tincture formula. It is easy to ingest and hassle-free with no artificial colors or preservatives. It is safe for all ages, including pregnant women or those who may be breastfeeding.
All Native Remedies homeopathic products and biochemic tissue salts are manufactured in an FDA- and GMP-registered pharmaceutical facility under the supervision of qualified homeopaths and responsible pharmacists. Individual ingredients are listed in the Homeopathic Pharmacopoeia of the United States (HPUS).
The sun will come out
Not everyone loves the cold, crisp winter months! For some, the absence of sunshine and warmer temperatures can be a little frustrating. Although we may not realize how much of a role the sun plays in our health, even indoors on a sunny day, the sun's reflected rays give us crucial vitamin D.
This vitamin D is essential to help keep our bodies in balance and our minds in good shape. We may even feel more 'sluggish' in cold weather. We all know the feeling of wanting to stay under the covers during rainy days!
The natural way
To help lessen these common feelings of seasonal gloominess or grief during the 'winter blues,' follow a diet low in fat that includes a reasonable (not excessive) amount of protein (three palm sized servings per day). Foods and drinks to avoid include those containing excess sugars, too many carbohydrates, caffeine, coffee, tea and chocolate.
Try to include sources of magnesium and B complex. A handy idea is to increase the light in your home or office and get moderate amounts of exercise – the best way to boost your brain's natural feel-good chemicals!
Natural remedies can also help to support the brain and nervous system. In fact, natural remedies have been used in traditional medicine for thousands of years to support a calmed, balanced mood and healthy emotions, especially around seasonal changes or the holidays.
What are the Ingredients?
SAD Soother is 100% homeopathic and contains the following ingredients: Alum (30C), Aurum met (30C), Calc carb (6C), Nat mur (6X), Kali phos (6X).
- Calc carb (6C) suits those individuals who tend to feel tired when it is colder and have a general dislike to cold environments.
- Alumina (30C) is a homeopathic remedy used to address general sluggishness and the feeling of wanting to 'curl up and hibernate'.
- Aurum met (30C) is a remedy for those who are very sensitive and need some lightness to enter their lives (like the gold from which the remedy is made!). They often describe a feeling of a 'cloud hanging over them'.
- Nat mur (6X) maintains the body's water balance by controlling the movement of water in and out of the cells. This means that brain cellular health is supported due to effective nutrition, oxygen and blood supply to each cell in the brain. Note: Due to the special manufacturing process of tissue salts, Nat mur should not be confused with salt, and may be safely used by people requiring low salt diets.
- Kali phos (6X) is a biochemic tissue salt that is a natural component of all fluids in the body. It acts as a nerve nutrient and is naturally present in all brain cells and nerve tissue. It is an excellent natural calmative, helping to soothe nerves and lessen the feeling of 'being on edge'. Kali phos supports a healthy brain and nervous system and can help relieve common irritability.
This homeopathic remedy is an OTC medicine registered with the Food and Drug Administration (FDA).
Native Remedies is the leading brand of natural remedies known for safe, effective and quality products. Our remedies are formulated by natural health experts and produced under the highest pharmaceutical standards in FDA-registered, GMP certified facilities. We utilize the finest quality ingredients that are officially monographed in the Homeopathic Pharmacopoeia of the United States (HPUS).
Native Remedies homeopathic products and biochemic tissue salts never contain any animal products, gluten, artificial colors, flavors or preservatives, and are not tested on animals. Our products are always backed by our One Year Unconditional Money Back Guarantee.
How do I use SAD Soother?
For all ages: Mix 0.50 mL in 1/4 cup of water and sip slowly. Repeat 3-5 times daily as needed until symptoms subside. If preferred, drops may be taken directly into the mouth.
SAD Soother is a homeopathic remedy and is safe for all ages and during pregnancy and breastfeeding.
Caution: Avoid strong mint-flavored candy as this may reduce the benefits of the remedy. If symptoms persist or worsen, a healthcare professional should be consulted. If pregnant or breastfeeding, ask a health professional before use. Keep this and all medicines from the reach of children.
How long until I see benefits?
SAD Soother supports the body on a cellular level, helping to support the nervous system from the first serving. SAD Soother contains homeopathic ingredients that facilitate absorption into the system – just when you need it!
How long will a bottle last?
One 59 mL bottle of SAD Soother will last approximately 30 days. Exactly how long a bottle lasts will depend on the frequency of use.
How has SAD Soother helped others?
"We recently relocated to London. My wife and I were looking forward to the move, but no sooner had we settled when she started to feel gloomy. She said it was due to the weather. I really felt awful for her because we couldn't go back home and I couldn't make it sunnier... I was amazed at all the remedies here. Imagine my surprise when I found SAD Soother! It was JUST what she needed… "
– Joe, UK
"This has been amazing for me. I hate the winter season! No more doom and gloom when I wake up and look outside, I just grab SAD Soother, and a few drops later, I feel ready to face the day…."
– Klinton
"I live in Alaska and have spent last decade of winters - hating to even get out of bed. This is the first year I've used this, and it really really works!!! Amazing is all I can say! With only 4-1/2 hrs of light by the time December came, I was so depressed. This has been the best winter since living here. Thank you!!!"
– Lynne S., AK, USA
"Great product, great service, great site – well done!"

Central Florida Ethnic Grocery Guide. Our annual Ethnic Grocery Guide is available online year-round, but every October we publish a list of these businesses here in the Cooking & Eating section. The listings reflect the diversity of Central Florida and exemplify why I think this is a great place for foodies.
These markets are scattered throughout Orange, Seminole, Lake, Osceola, Volusia and Brevard counties. To update the guide for 2013, we need your help.

Good read. You know a cookbook is really good when it's in its 50th printing. In 1988, Rose Levy Beranbaum amazed home and professional bakers with her detailed, comprehensive baking book. "The Cake Bible" (William Morrow, $35) remains a definitive cookbook. Beranbaum doesn't just tell readers how to bake a cake, she teaches them why they needed to sift, cream or whip the ingredients to create the best desserts.
What's in season. In the produce department, look for Florida avocados, carambola, cucumber, grapefruit, guava, mushrooms, oranges, peanuts, sweet corn, tangerines and tomatoes.
At the seafood counter, fish for alligator, blue crab, clams, flounder, grouper, mullet, oysters, snapper, shrimp, spiny lobster, stone crab, swordfish, tilapia, tilefish and yellow fin tuna.

The conclusion to an exhaustive four-part series on Battle Red Blog detailing Matt Schaub's time with the Houston Texans.
Part III in an exhaustive four-part series on Battle Red Blog detailing Matt Schaub's time with the Houston Texans.
Gary Kubiak officially announced what virtually every Texans fan thought he would. Case Keenum will be the starting quarterback for the Houston Texans when they host the Indianapolis Colts on Sunday night.
Ian Rapoport of NFL.com is reporting that embattled Texans' quarterback Matt Schaub's ankle is in considerably worse condition than some thought. Will it have any effect on Gary Kubiak's decision about who to start at QB against the Colts on SNF?
Read on to see what roster adjustments Kubiak and Kompany might have made to help Case Keenum's first ever start in the NFL.
If Matt Schaub is not ready to start at QB for the Texans against the Chiefs on Sunday, who do you believe should take his place as the starting QB for the Texans in Kansas City? T.J. Yates? Or Case Keenum?
Another Monday, another depressing Gary Kubiak press conference. See what he had to say about the injuries to Danieal Manning and Matt Schaub, penalties, special teams, his talks with Bob McNair, and why Derek Newton will continue to start at RT.
Gary Kubiak spoke with the media this afternoon. One of the biggest topics was the health of Matt Schaub. Here's what Kubiak had to say about his QB's health after yesterday's injury.
Why the Houston Texans and their fans should be more than worried about Matt Schaub and his play for the rest of the season.
Did he join the likes of Joseph, Cody and Reed as members of the Texans' secret surgery club? One man analyzes the evidence.

After last year's dramatic increase in airfares, meeting executives may be looking at the new year with less than great expectations. Yet many airline analysts expect fares to stabilize or decrease in 1997. "I think airfares overall reached a peak around Labor Day of 1996," says Terry Trippler, editor of the Minneapolis-based Airfare Report. "In 1997, barring any fuel-cost catastrophe, we will see fares not only level off, but moderate. There should be a reduction in overall fares."
The Air Transport Association's chief economist, David Swierenga, agrees. "I expect fares to come down overall, although we are still faced with reimposition of the ten percent federal ticket tax, and that's one factor that may muddy the waters," he says. The tax, which lapsed on December 31, 1996, is on a fast track for reinstatement, having been approved by the Senate Finance Committee in January.
According to Trippler, the news is potentially as good for meeting business as it is for business travelers. "I expect that group fares will stabilize or go down in 1997," he says. More carriers now offer a zone-fare option for groups-flat fares based on travel between specified zones, or areas of the country, he added.
American Airlines, for one, recently revised its zone-fare pricing for group travel, making it less expensive and more flexible. The new fares range from $235 to $556, translating into an average price reduction of 20 percent. (Hawaii costs more.) Saturday-night stays are no longer required, the maximum stay has increased from 14 to 30 days, and there are no penalties for block cancellations 120 days or more prior to travel. The zone fares apply to destinations within the 48 states, Hawaii, and Canada that are served by American Airlines and American Eagle.
Zone fares take on added importance given the uncertainty over airfares, according to Maureen Pickell, Northwest Airlines' manager of meeting and incentive sales, Eastern region. Pickell declined comment on the outlook for 1997 airfares. But, she says, "Zone fares are not that vulnerable to changes in general. They are one way meeting planners can protect themselves." Northwest has zone fares, good for up to two years, for more than 70 cities in the U.S. and Canada.
Chrysler Corporation's manager of corporate services, Charles Braswell, sees things differently, predicting that group airfares "will edge up" even higher in 1997. Zone fares can help, he adds, "but airlines are market-driven. Going back about two years, the airlines' load factors were low, but they have since improved. There's no advantage for them to sell seats at a lower price to groups."

Ed Davis Author Visit
Ed Davis will read from his new book of poems Time of the Light (Main Street Rag, 2013). Davis says the book "represents what I feel is my best effort to follow my muse down many meandering country roads and forest paths, from West Virginia coalfields to Ohio cornfields. Birds, boots, blues and banjoes—there's even healing dirt, plus many of the kindred spirits, living and dead, who've made my journey always interesting and often luminous." Books will be for sale with author signing following the reading.
West Virginia native Ed Davis recently retired from teaching writing full-time at Sinclair Community College in Dayton, Ohio. He's the author of the novels I Was So Much Older Then and The Measure of Everything as well as four poetry chapbooks. He lives with his wife and cats in the bucolic village of Yellow Springs, Ohio.

Researchers at The University of Texas at Austin have developed a simple scaling theory to estimate gas production from hydraulically fractured wells in the Barnett Shale. The method is intended to help the energy industry accurately identify low- and high-producing horizontal wells, as well as accurately predict how long it will take for gas reserves to deplete in the wells.
Using historical data from horizontal wells in the Barnett Shale formation in North Texas, Tad Patzek, professor and chair in the Department of Petroleum and Geosystems Engineering in the Cockrell School of Engineering; Michael Marder, professor of physics in the College of Natural Sciences; and Frank Male, a graduate student in physics, used a simple physics theory to model the rate at which production from the wells declines over time, known as the "decline curve."

For years, scientists have been working to fundamentally understand how nanoparticles move throughout the human body. One big unanswered question is how the shape of nanoparticles affects their entry into cells. Now researchers have discovered that under typical culture conditions, mammalian cells prefer disc-shaped nanoparticles over those shaped like rods.
Krishnendu Roy, who is now on faculty at the Coulter Department of Biomedical Engineering at Georgia Tech and Emory University, conducted this research at the Cockrell School of Engineering in collaboration with professors S.V. Sreenivasan and Li Shi of the Department of Mechanical Engineering.

"What you doing Mommy?"
"Making cheese."
"No Mommy. That's milk."
"Yes, but we make cheese out of milk, Shiloh."
"Because that's how cheese is made."
"But why?"
"Because milk makes cheese, that's why. Do you want to help pour in the vinegar?"
"No Mommy! Stop!"
"Vinegar is nasty, it……..cool!"
Shiloh watched amazed as the curds and whey separated. He uttered another "Cool!" and was instantly distracted by the cat who was begging for some cheese curds.
I've wanted to make cheese for a long time, but was intimidated by the array of cultures and special cheese molds needed.
And then I discovered cottage cheese. Well, maybe not discovered. I've loved eating cottage cheese topped with a dollop of apple butter since childhood. It's a treat.
But I have recently discovered how simple it is to make cottage cheese, and it is ridiculously simple. The only tools needed are a pan, kitchen thermometer, colander, and tea towel. The only ingredients are milk, vinegar, and salt. It takes less than an hour to make.
And it's way better than store bought! The cat agrees.
Homemade Cottage Cheese
Yield: About 3 cups
1 gallon milk
ľ cup white vinegar
1 ˝ tsps. Kosher salt
In a large saucepan, warm the milk to 120° stirring often. Turn off the burner, and slowly pour in the vinegar. Stir for 2 minutes. You will see the curds (cheese) and whey separating. Cover the pan and let it set for 30 minutes.
Line a colander with a large tea towel and set it in the sink. Slowly pour the curds and whey into the colander. Allow the whey to drain off for a few minutes. Gather the curds in the towel and rinse under cold water, making sure all the curds are rinsed to get the vinegar off.
Squeeze and wring out the curds getting as much water out as possible. Dump the curds into a bowl and mix in the salt. Store in the refrigerator.
Optional: If you like creamy cottage cheese, mix in a few splashes of milk before serving.

I wanted to post my finding while using PDAnet with fw 2.1 on my 3G iphone. Prior to fw 2.1 I was able to maintain solid battery charge while using PDAnet. Since the 2.1 update, I've found that there seems to be some sort of bug that causes intermittent loss of charging ability when PDAnet is in use.
If you keep your screen on and unlocked while using PDAnet, you'll notice your battery indicator on the task bar (not the numeric readout within PDAnet) will change from the "charging" lightning bolt icon to the "charged" plug icon. It does this dispite being far from fully charged (I will post screenshots soon). When this happens, PDAnet just keeps draining the battery (easily tracked with the PDAnet numeric battery display). Sometimes I can initate charging again by unplug/replugging in the phone, but this is short lived and doesn't always work. Incidently, the lock screen battery icon correctly displays battery charge.
I have no idea what causes this and I think this is new since the 2.1 firmware update. My battery drain is actually worse than under 2.0, dispite all of the upgrades to PDAnet's efficiency. If anyone can shed some light on this, PLEASE post whatever information you have...and maybe share it with PDAnet developers!
FYI - the same issue is occuring with Netshare...something to do with 3G and wireless being active at the same time...the pessimist in me wonders if it wasn't purposely introduced by apple in an effort to get everyone onboard with the pending "official" tethering options from apple/att.

Primary goals of Drawing 1 focus on core drawing concepts; basic methods, tools and materials; and an introduction into the language of mark making. Composition and visual analysis are emphasized through drawing from observation, including perspective theories as they relate to objects and environments. Students utilize observational information to develop a broad range of manual and perceptual skills and to develop an ability to translate the three-dimensional world into two dimensions. Students are challenged to develop a strong drawing practice through in-class work, out of class assignments, and in on-going drawing/sketch books. Offered fall.

Who is Gossip Girl? Share Your Theories!by Steve Marsi at .
The synopsis for the December 17 Gossip Girl series finale has been released by the CW. On that date, we will finally learn the "endgame" for Chair and the rest of the characters ... as well as who GG really is.
The series swan song, "New York, I Love You XOXO," begins with the cast members and executive producers bidding farewell to the Upper East Side in a look back at the show's many unforgettable moments.
Then, in the second half of the two-hour event, "in a fashionable farewell to remember, our favorite Upper East Siders join forces for one last soiree, and the shocking identity of Gossip Girl is finally revealed."
Who is she/he? That question will finally be answered after six seasons. According to E! Online, "we found out who Gossip Girl is and we have. So. Many. Emotions. It's great. And even kind of makes sense."
What do you make of that? The options are certainly abundant, especially with guest stars aplenty back for the much-anticipated sendoff. We are all Gossip Girl ... but at the same time, there can be only one.

I think GG is both of the humphries because in seasons 1 and two its def jenny then it changes to dan and maybe back to jenny but it think in the promo when serena says dan had the power to reveal her the whole time, i think he is trying to protect his sister jenny who is gossip girl!!
I think the "it couldn't be ______ because in this episode this happened" has got to be trashed as an arguing point for or against anyone. There are plenty of past scenes that negate the possibility of every major character as GG because a blast was sent while they were with other people or in the middle of something. But the truth is, blasts can be set up in advance, blasts can theoretically be sent on cell phones from fingers hiding in pockets, so... anyone is fair game.
It couldnt be dan or georgina. 6x01 both of em were looking for serena to the end of dan s book. Gg knew where serena was. Nate and dan knows who is gg and obviously everybody would hate it if blair or chuck were gg. I believe it is william. Hes a man and it would make sense as ivy is mad at him in the 6x10 spoiler. Im so excited to the next chapter and i hope i get surprised (in the good way). All we can do is wait a week

The typical situation for an emergency suspension is when a student starts a fight, brings a weapon to school or hits a teacher. The student is removed and given a suspension of up to 10 days. But this assumes that the student did the act and we live in a country where you are innocent until proven guilty. So the Supreme Court ruled back in 1975 in Goss v. Lopez that a post-suspension hearing must be held as soon as practical after the emergency suspension. This applied to suspensions for up to 10 days. Longer suspensions require a more formal process. But school districts think that they can kick a kid out of school for up to 10 days with no process at all. When they do, it violates a students due process rights.
The district is supposed to conduct an immediate inquiry and meet with the student and parents as soon as practical after the suspension to inform the family of the charges and evidence against the student as well as give the student an opportunity to respond. According to Nevada State law students have a property right in their public education and they can't lose this right without due process.
But school districts are omitting the second step after the student is initially removed. There is no post suspension hearing, no distribution of evidence and no ability for the student to refute the allegations against him. School districts think that they have 10 days to hold a hearing not just on the emergency suspension but on any longer suspension as well. They're wrong.
The Goss v. Lopez case clearly stated that a post suspension hearing had to be held as soon as possible. That case also stated that the loss of school time and the negative stigma attached to a suspension of even less than 10 days was significant to a student. This was recently reaffirmed in Reno in Federal Court.
In two separate cases the Washoe County School District was found to have violated a students due process rights by issuing an emergency suspension and not having a hearing shortly thereafter but postponing the hearing for nine or 10 schooldays later. The court found that this delay substantially prejudiced the student and was unjustified by the alleged heavy workload of administrators.
Ironically the District's defense was that the 10 days was insignificant. Their lawyers from Maupin Cox and LeGoy stated that 10 days was no big deal and that the students ended up graduating anyway so no harm no foul. How did their lawyers reconcile this attitude with the District's attendance policy requiring 90 percent attendance for students or they will get an "F"? This policy means that in a semester if a student misses nine unexcused days they will fail the class.
The District adopted this rule because of how important class time is for a student as well as just learning the curriculum. Fortunately the judge saw this hypocrisy and followed the longstanding law set forth by the Supreme Court. Now the Washoe County School District has to do the same.
If your child gets an emergency suspension, demand a hearing immediately. If a hearing is not provided, you can file an action in Federal Court. Waiting 10 or more days for a hearing is against the law and the District is now well aware of that fact.
Jeff Blanck is the former General Counsel for the Washoe County School District and now is in private practice in Reno. He can be reached at: email@example.com

MARLBORO, VERMONT – For a school rated 17th in the nation by the Princeton Review for "Intercollegiate sports unpopular or non existent," students at Marlboro College are more than serious about one sporting tradition on campus.
For nearly 15 years, students have spent winter months at the school preparing for and playing in an unusual sporting tradition – broomball.
The broomball tradition began at Marlboro in either 1988 or 1989 when a group of students decided to use duct tape to wrap around the bristles of brooms to push a square ball around on the school's ice pond. The game looks much like ice hockey, with many twists. One of those twists is that students came up with creative team names and wore costumes to match their team theme.
"It started out simple, with the focus on costumes but gradually became more competitive," staffer Randy Knaggs said. "Everything that succeeds at Marlboro has a little spin. Marlboro likes a spectacle verses an event, and broomball is definitely a spectacle."
Students agreed.
" It's hard to have any skill at the game, but the costumes make it fun," student Forrest Gardner said.
" The way big universities treat football is the way Marlboro treats broomball," student Colin Meckel said.
The way the game is played at Marlboro is that individual teams chose from the get go whether or not their main goal is to be judged on costumes or competition. Teams are made up of 12 players and the game is played on the school fire pond.
This year's broomball tournaments are set for Feb. 8 and 9. Some team names being used this year are: Gonads in Strife and Sweet Beavers. Names of the past included: Trailer Trash and Bubble Wrap Brigade. Costumes followed suit.

Hello, I've been a lurker for some time but I thought now would be a good time to register and make my own sketchbook, I'd also like to take part in some of the "of the week" competitions. I desperately want to improve, my knowledge of anatomy isn't great and my posing is even worse so critique is VERY welcome!
Edited so I can change the thread thumbnail.

Find Drug Rehab Programs For Hearing Impaired Clients in Aurora , Illinois
Drug Rehab Programs For Hearing Impaired Clients
Today, many drug rehab programs offer assistance for hearing impaired clients. These rehabilitation programs provide many opportunities for adults and adolescents to find their way through the impact that alcohol and drugs have had on their life and the lives of those close to them.
These specialized drug and alcohol rehab facilities offer assistance for hearing impaired clients and help recovering addicts to find their strengths while learning from their pasts and finding new ways to live life. Addiction is not a disease. It is a series of very poor choices made over a period of time that impacts the user's mind, body, spirit, families, and friends. The recovery process touches on all aspects of a person's life.
Different levels of impact on a person's life require different levels of treatment. Assistance for hearing impaired clients is no different. The rehab program will begin by meeting with the person, and at times, their families to talk and understand the full extent of the impact of drugs, alcohol, and crime in their life. From there, the rehab will recommend the best possible program to meet the person's requirements and level of need.
Assistance for hearing impaired clients is provided while at the same time they learn to be drug and alcohol free. They face all of the issues in their lives that have interfered with their health, happiness, work, and healthy relationships. The staff helps clients reconnect with family, community, and a sense of their own self worth. It is a chance to start over and overcome feelings of helplessness and hopelessness.

LSU Self-Imposes Penalties On Football Program
LSU has self-imposed recruiting restrictions upon its own football program as a result of recruiting violations tied to the 2009 signing of juco defensive tackle Akiem Hicks.
LSU will forfeit two scholarships in 2011-12 and restrict recruiting visits for the 2010-11 academic year. According to The Baton Rouge Advocate, LSU will be allowed to sign no more than 26 when the national signing period begins on February 2nd, 2011. The Tigers will then carry no more than 83 scholarship players during the 2011-12 school year.
The school did not identify people involved in the violations, but sources have told The Advocate that the punishments do stem from an investigation into the recruitment of Hicks by former assistant coach DJ McCarthy. McCarthy and Hicks both departed LSU soon after news of the violations broke last year.
During the internal investigation, additional violations were uncovered. Those included "improper phone contacts, transportation and housing issues between coaching and non-coaching administrative football staff members and the parents and high school coaches of prospective recruits."
Athletic director Joe Alleva said: "Our compliance office discovered additional violations during the course of this investigation and took immediate corrective measures to ensure they would not occur again, which is what a good compliance office is supposed to do. I am disappointed these violations took place, but I am proud of the way that LSU reacted to the situation. We now stand ready to assist the NCAA in the completion of this process."
The NCAA enforcement staff will next complete its review of LSU's investigation and proposed penalties. If it's good with them, case closed. If it's not, more sanctions could be added.
It's likely, however, that SEC commissioner Mike Slive had a hand in determining the self-imposed penalties. If that's the case — crediting his connections within the NCAA — it's likely that LSU's self-imposed sanctions will suffice.
We shall see.
Either way, LSU appears to be playing by the letter of the law these days. The father of recently signed juco quarterback Zach Mettenberger has told The Shreveport Times that his son will not be moving onto campus until he is officially enrolled and accepted. Often, schools allow transfers onto campus before they are officially accepted by the school.
